Your photos are just stunning!
I know exactly what you mean about Moraine Lake - I couldn’t get over the colour of it, and the colours seemed so much more vivid from the top of that rock pile. We sat there for the best part of an hour enjoying the views, and loved how peaceful it was there. There were definitely less visitors there than any of the other major lakes we visited, which obviously helps enhance the enjoyment.
Whilst I also loved Lake Louise, I didn’t find the colour of the lake elicited quite the same response as Moraine Lake for me, but I think it’s the setting of Lake Louise that makes it stand out, as it truly is gorgeous.
Well done on getting to the Upper Falls at Johnston Canyon. We only made it to the Lower Falls.
You have made me laugh at catching the car horn when getting out of the car to photograph the elk.
I can just imagine everyone’s faces.
